Bike racers alone can’t make bike races happen. Without volunteers and staff working tirelessly behind the scenes before, during, and long after every race, this great sport could not go on! Whether you’re a former racer or a current one, or have never toed a start line in your life, you can help support the sport we all love by helping to make race events happen.

For providing a minimum of 4 hours of time, each Volunteer will be entitled to select one of the following;
· One Lift ticket to Windham Mountain Bike Park
· One Winter Lift Ticket
· One Round of Golf with Cart
